" But perhaps age has taught me that the earth is still new, molten at the core and still forming, that black leaves in the winter forest will crawl with life in the spring, that our story is ongoing and it is indeed a crime to allow the heart’s energies to dissipate with the fading of light on the horizon. I can’t be sure. I brood upon it and sleep little. I wait like a denied lover for the blue glow of dawn. "
